Bath re-enamelling in Boot Street without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can typically put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Boot Street
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Questions from Boot Street
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Boot Street

These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
- A roll-top that is seen better days

What affects the price in Boot Street
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
If you are in Boot Street and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
